Hey ladies, please add anyone I haven't included.... and welcome to any newbies!

@Blossom428 @TheOrangeMonster @Gemster19 @WaitingForEgg @Chlo2701 @bwfcchick88

[quote TTCagainHOPEFUL]@bwfcchick88 my second. Finding it hard this time round. Hoping nothings wrong. I’ve read amazing reviews from the preseed with people falling pregnant within the first or second cycle... that’s if it’s to be believed. Worth a try though surely? Xx[/quote]
Definitely worth a try if it will get us there, will check it out. Sorry to hear you're finding it hard. Crap innit xx

@WaitingForEgg

I’m sorry *@bwfcchick88* I’m riding the disappointment bus with you. My next focus will be on losing a bit of weight. I’m about half a stone heavier than when I conceived my daughter, so figure it couldn’t hurt to lose it.

Thank you x and that's a really good idea. I've also been doing some home workouts and have found them helpful.

Hi Ladies

Hope your all well. Sorry to hear the disappointments 😞. Still the same for me, I’m on my TTW, AF is due Christmas Day!
I have been having spotting day 21 of my cycles which having read up on it could be due to low progesterone which wouldn’t be ideal. Anyone else had the same issue? xx

Morning ladies. Hope everyone is ok?
So sorry to hear that some didn't get their bfps. This was cycle 4 for me, and I got my bfp yesterday at 9DPO. still can't quite believe it.
I have my fingers crossed for everyone who is still in the tww ❤️

Congratulations @mommyofone2019 🥳 that’s great news xx

@Peony20 thank you ❤️

@bwfcchick88 thank you ❤️

Aw congrats @mommyofone2019 amazing news 🥰

@mommyofone2019 congrats.

@TTCagainHOPEFUL @bwfcchick88 Preseed might be good but I’ve been using is 6 months and nada. Mind you there’s something wrong with me so hey ho.

@mommyofone2019 congratulations lovely! Hope you are feeling well! Xx

Ahh, I might check it out and see what happens! How is everything coming along with you, are you ok? x

@bwfcchick88 good idea - always best to try out before dismissing!

I’m ok, yesterday I was bored and so I peed on an old digital OPK (I can’t believe the reader still works!) And for the first time literally ever, got a solid smiley face. I have never ever had one of those before, not even a flashing. Always the circle, so I showed it to DH and we DTD because we joked it might be a “sign”. Still waiting for test results after 19 days, may phone GP next week but they’ve got a lot on their plate so I feel guilty about nagging them, especially at this time of year.
“Giving up” has made me feel a lot better, I’m definitely getting less angry when other people get pregnant and although general stress levels haven’t improved that much (thanks, age of Covid) I’m caring less, which is a good thing!
Probably ovulating today if it didn’t happen overnight - maybe we’ll get a Christmas present, but I doubt it.
It’s the thought of pigs in blankets that’s keeping me going this week.

Massive fingers crossed you get your wish! I know what you mean about feeling less angry, we've just started using the Clearblue digital OPK and I got flashing smilies and a solid one, so I know I ovulate now, which has calmed me down a bit.. When you factor in the weird (probably dodgy) line I had, and the normal blood results in October, just makes me feel a bit brighter about it all, but still a long way to go. But I totally get where you're coming from, sometimes you need a mind switch, if that makes sense. Know what you mean about the anger - I flipped between rage and tears when I found out over the summer that my SIL is pregnant again (first baby turns 2 next month) but I was a lot less emotional than the first time around.
I do love pigs in blankets! We're briefly visiting family on Christmas morning then having dinner at home for the first time with just us and our naughty cat so I feel really positive about that. I hope you get your test results soon and that they go well. It's been such a dark year.

@bwfcchick88 “dark year” is totally right, my goodness what a struggle it’s been.
This morning my husband started coughing so he’s gone to get a Covid test 🤦‍♀️
We have no idea where he would’ve got even a cold from as he hasn’t been out of the house in a week! Fingers crossed it’s just a nothing.
We just reorganised our whole Christmas because of yesterday’s changes - God help us if he’s somehow managed to get Covid whilst walking past someone in the street last weekend or something!
They don’t prepare you for the negativity, do they? All these online resources about TTC, they should make a point that it’s normal to experience real anger and jealousy if someone else announces their pregnancy and that it doesn’t make you a terrible person. That’s the thing for me - I get this anger and then I immediately feel so awful because it’s not fair on the person who got pregnant (I mean obviously I don’t go around yelling at pregnant women or anything but it doesn’t make it any easier!)
I might put in a call to the GP tomorrow just to check if they’ve had any news, that can’t hurt.
Well, no idea if I’ve I’d or not but I’m guessing I have, and we DTD two days before, day before and day of, this time ‘cause we wanted to, so come on date, we’ve ticked all of your boxes this cycle, “not trying”, not tracking or charting, not particularly caring AND sex on all the best days etc etc.....
🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Anyway, I hope you have a good Christmas in whatever form it is taking!
🎄

O’d and fate, not “I’d” and “date”.

I just got my period. Was so hoping for an extra Christmas present this year. 😥 back to the drawing board

The only saving grace is my periods do seem to have regulated again now

Aww sorry to hear @WaitingForEgg 😒. Same here hoping for that special present but think AF is on the way 🙁 xx

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear you've had to rearrange things. Fortunately we are only doing a present drop-off, so not changing much for us, but it is a pain when things have to be changed last minute. I really hope it happens for you this Christmas, and have a good one ☺🎄

So sorry to hear that.. glad they've regulated though x

I'm shaking. I'm shaking and I can barely hold my phone to take a photo. I'm not imagining this am I? I'm only 9dpo! I had weird symptoms and so I peed on an early stick mid afternoon after having drunk loads today and this came up after 3 mins. (It says 6 mins on the pack). I'm not imagining it am I? Shit. I can't take my hand off my mouth.

@TheOrangeMonster that looks like a positive to me!!!!

@mommyofone2019 I've never had one before!
Today I had a nosebleed and my gums started bleeding and I just thought it was bizarre.....
I'm scared it won't stick now 😱

Omg @TheOrangeMonster !!! That's amazing! So so happy for you!!

I literally can't believe it: I'm pretty convinced it's going to be a chemical or the test is dodgy or something. Should I go out and get more or wait until tomorrow and see? I never test this early - I was just standing in the kitchen reading a recipe book and my gums started to bleed again and I just had a feeling - and last night I had a pinch - a big zap like an electric drill, right in my uterus, and all night I was sweating and dreaming ridiculous sex dreams....
My DH is wandering around with his mouth open. Neither of us can believe it.

Eek - omg, please pray for this to stick for me, I truly believed I'd end up having to have IVF....
Hell, I'd better cancel my next test at the hospital! Or do I leave it in case it doesn't stick? 😩
